	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Reflective	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ 2%	INTJ 2%
	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
Experiential	ESTP 11%	ESFP 12%	ENFP 6%	ENTP 6%
	ESTJ 11%	ESFJ 12%	ENFJ 5%	ENTJ 5%

In the above framework used in the 4mat or Kolb Learning Style Test the following equivalents can be used:

Introvert = Reflective, Extrovert = Experiential Concrete = Sensate, Abstract = Intuitives

	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Sequential/J	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ 2%	INTJ 2%
Random/P	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
	ESTP 11%	ESFP 12%	ENFP 6%	ENTP 6%
Sequential/J	ESTJ 11%	ESFJ 12%	ENFJ 5%	ENTJ 5%

In the above framework used in the Gregorc system the following equivalents can be used:

Sequential = Judger, Random = Perceiver Concrete = Sensate, Abstract = Intuitives

	Concrete/S		Abstract/N
Sequential/J	ISTJ 6%	ISFJ 6%	INFJ Visual	INTJ Learners
Random/P	ISTP 5%	ISFP 5%	INFP 3%	INTP 3%
	ESTP Kinesthetic	ESFP Learners	ENFP Auditory	ENTP Learners
